Forts of Swat State Era Part I

During the consolidation phase of the State The Ruler of Swat State had to construct Forts at strategic points of the State. These Forts had a simple yet grand and elegant structure. This fort came to be part  of the State Emblem.
Most of these beautiful structures have been demolished with different motives. Only one at Ghazikot Buner and the remains of another at Nimogram can still be seen.
